10 Hyped WWE Debuts That Were CANCELLED
8. Aloisia
The 6'9" giantess was widely regarded as the favourite to win NXT season 3 ahead of the show's premiere in September 2010.
The series, still deep in its infamous early years as a rookie game show, boasted an all-female cast, including eventual stars such as AJ Lee and Naomi. In the lead up, Aloisia was revealed as Vickie Guerrero's protege. Why exactly a non-wrestler like Vickie got a student was anyone's guess, but it appeared the pair would be used predominantly for heel heat considering the blend of intimidating size and ear-shredding promos.
Bizarrely, Aloisia was dropped from the series at the last minute and replaced by eventual winner Kaitlyn. A number of rumors have swirled as to why exactly the potential one-of-a-kind performer was dropped. In kayfabe, she was fired by Guerrero, but the general consensus was she was really just too green to be trusted between the ropes. Considering the level of inexperience that season wound up showcasing, that's really saying something.
As Omos has reminded everyone in recent years, wrestling giants have a knack for attracting general interest from audiences. Aloisia was no different, and was receiving a good deal of hype until her mysterious release put the kibosh on seeing what she could do in a WWE ring.
